How to get rid of a bad cough?/Delsym, Does it work for you?!
Question: I baught some of the cough suppressant, Delsym, and it doesn't work at all!!!
I have a horrible cough, and I can't sleep because of it. I cough at least once everty 3 seconds. It's been this way for about 3 days now. My throat is sore now, and I can't talk. My step daughter is the same way, we aren't 'sick, we just have this horrid cough!
my aunt told me to mix lemon juice and honey 50/50 and that it will help with the cough but I haven't tried it because neither me or my stepdaughter like honey.
Any suggestions on how to make it better?
(Please don't say go to the doctor, I just want to see if anything else will work first.)

Here are a few simple home remedies that will help to overcome cough. Have honey in a hot drink before bed time.To relieve fits of coughing due to dryness in the throat, suck a few pepper corns. Check out http://useinfo6.blogspot.com/ for more remedies and information.
This may not get rid of your cough altogether but, try putting Vick's Vapour Rub on your feet and then a pair of socks before going to bed. I have been told, and one of my daughters has tried it and says that it works. Really works.
I also heard that they are trying to remove children's cough medicines as there has been over a hundred deaths caused by misuse of children's cough medicines in the last few years.
Imagine something as simple as putting Vick's on your feet at night.
Something to think about. Hope it helps.

I would encourage you to try mixing some lemon juice with luke warm water. About 1/2 lemon to 12+ ounces of water.
The honey is optional and used if you do not like the bitter taste of lemon water. Another optional sweetener is a little bit of Maple Syrup (I like Grade B because it has vitamin B). . ..
Hope you feel better soon.
